Kisses for a Consideration.

Those housekeepers. those mothers
who pride themselves on bringing up
their chlldren well, and who keep q
constant eye on their servants, can only
be bent from the strictest rules of pro-
priety in tine household by housekesp-
ing considerations. There's one of this
dear, old-fashioned school up town who
has very pretty servant maid. a tempt
ing servant maid. who always gets sery-
ed first in the morning. and has all the
tradespeople interested in the house.
The milkman tries to come late, so he
may find her, and the butterman is wild
about her, and the butcher sometimes
comes himself to see that the meat is
all right. Those advantages have not
been lost upon the lady Of the house,
but she is g siickler for propriety. So
when. the other morning, she found the
butchers boy kissing the pretty servant
maid, she was shocked. She wrote
note to the butcher and told him if he
couldn't send boy WHO behaved him
self he could take her name off his list
of customers and she's get her meat
elsewhere. At breakfast they spoke
about it.
''Well. mamma, you'd better write to

morning. said the daughter of the
house.

it is always girdIed By 4 belt of adver-

or four feet broad. and thus the avail

to twenty-four square feet This does
not suffice for the needs of Chinatown,
and another telegraph pole on the OPP
posite side of the street, out toward the
corner of Park street. gets part of the
business.
When the Chinese avail themselves
of this advertising medium they are re-
minded of the perversity of this western
people in doing almost everything in a
way Numerically different from their
time-honored oriental method. There
is never any doubt as to the circulation
of this advertising medium. for. as in
the case Of that other post the EUening.
nobody claims that it circulateS. 1t
stands there year in and year out. and
the readers do the circulating. Thus,
there is no chance for hocus pocus 1t

ances. they may suspect that there is

thsckncsses of "dead-ads."
On Sundays, when the Chinese from

their race. each visitor steps up to the
pole and consults the Announcements
made thereon. They run largely to for

Chinaman has anything Cor sale. from

find scribes who will dc it for them in
good shape for reasonable pay. The
notices are almost inyariably written
with admirable neatness, and without
display. No cuts are inserted. There

man shall occupy more of the common
space than a reasonable setting forth OF
his announcement requires.

Millet and the French Court.

Children were always welcomed III
Millet's cottage, but there were other
less agreeable visitors. The grand peo-
pie of the court, who sometimes came to
the studio after hunting parties at Fon-
tainebleau, were coldly received, for
they did not understand the artist.
They thought that in his pictures of
peasants hard at work in the fields he
was trying to show how miserable the
common people were under the Empire
of Napoleon LII.
But there was no political purpose in
Millets paintings. He always looked
upon peasants as the happiest people in
the world, since they were .'doing Gods
work, " and living out-of-doors among
beautiful scenery; and he tried to rep
resent them SO. But of course, with
their digging and other heavy work,
They can not be the figures Of Wat
seau." Millet used to sag.
Since the court people misunderstood
Kim SO entirely. Millet avoided seeing
them when he could; but once he was
caught. One day an open carriage
drove to the door. bringing four court
ladies who wished to see the studio. As
it happened. Millet himself, in his
sabots and blouse. answered the bell.
'.Is M. Millet in?" asked visitor.
Millet stepped outside and then said,
No"
.Can we see his studiop" inquired
one of the ladies'
NO" said the unrecognized artist;
and he explained that NJ. Millet was a
very peculiar man, who would be angry
if the studio were shown. But as the
ladies insisted aud entered the yard, he
said that he would admit them if they
promised to tell no one of their visit
They entered, looked everywhere, upset
half the things in the studio. and, on
leaving. put gold piece into Millet's
hand, taking him for servant. After
ward. when he was publicly honored
with the rank of Chevalier of the Legion
of Honor, one of these ladies recognized
him. Millet simply said:
Years ago your gold piece would
have been God-send to me. Ripley
